2019 KIA Ceed 1.4L Petrol · AF69 KOU

The 2019 Kia Ceed presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 24 June 2025 at 56,235 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable, though the record shows two anomalous failure entries that carried no listed defects. On 17 June 2025 at 56,233 miles and again on 10 January 2025 at 51,314 miles the vehicle failed the test, yet the DVSA data records no advisories or faults against either failure. Such clean failure lines typically point to administrative or documentation issues at the testing station rather than mechanical defect. Annual mileage sits at roughly 8,034 miles, in line with typical use for a seven-year-old car. The records expose a sharp accumulation between January 2024 and January 2025, jumping from 33,508 miles to 51,315 miles, a near 18,000-mile year that far exceeds the longer-term average. From January to June 2025 the car covered only 4,920 miles, suggesting heavier commuting use earlier in its life that has since eased. The sparse history, with just three pass cycles and two defect-free failures, gives little basis to judge wear on consumables or structure. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the unexplained 2025 failures and the high-mileage stretch in 2024. The tester logged no corrosion or structural integrity concerns across any entry, which is favourable for a vehicle of this age. Verify the reason for the two zero-defect failures with the prior testing stations before purchase. Check tyre tread depth, wiper blades, and exhaust emissions in person, as these consumables leave no trace in a clean MOT ledger. The lack of recorded advisories means previous owners likely addressed wear before each test rather than leaving items to accumulate.
